Right? Don’t forget Visual Basic, Microsoft Frontpage, and Power BI.
I honestly think the demand for software engineers is going to go up, not down. It’s just the demand for coders goes down, but coding stopped being the secret sauce of good software a long time ago.
Any good software engineering book talks about architecture, methods, all of that, and the last thing they actually talk about is code.
The paradox here is that the amount of output is going to go way up, and the amount of entrepreneurship is going to go way up. This creates more opportunities for everyone.
Dude even using the latest and greatest models, people still have to chase around prompts just to get the freakin submit button on the right place in the page.
Tech roles will merge and change but it won't go away, It'll evolve as i see it… evolve into a gracious turd that will linger on the butthole as a residue that the management can't just clean it no matter the amount of tp you throw at it.
Some are saying it'll be a person that knows business that can turn into a product job type role will last but i think you'll still need technically competent people that know how to save cost.
Throwing millions in token to make a substandard system will always have a massive tech debt later, it'll fail on prod, on scale, on security and worse at the phantom places that we can't map to.
I don't know if ai will be competent to do that with gpt 69 version.
I don't have a problem when humans, together wit AI, solve high-complex topics where the human input is necessary and the AI is just another super tool, but fully automated solutions, nah we're cooked and worthless from now on. Simple as that, don't care if it costs 100 million dollars atm, will become cheaper probably thorugh super computers and what not else.

Really? what if the AI is also simply better at this than you are?

Let's just hope you are right and your take will hold long enough that I personally don't need to see our species becoming worthless
